Our story
Hello, I’m Tom.
Founder of Camper Camper
Camper Camper started with a simple desire: to build campervans that feel like home. This is the journey from a disappointing van in Iceland and one big dream, to the company we are building today.
Where it all began
It all started with a trip to Iceland. The scenery was incredible, but the campervan wasn't. I remember thinking: I could build something better than this. That one thought changed everything.
One big risk
So I took a massive risk. I left the family business and bought a van. I built it, and it sold almost immediately. The demand was real, and there was no going back.
Escape Conversions is born
I rented a dusty old barn at a local farm and decided to give it a go full time. No fancy workshop, no machinery, just a set of tools and a lot of belief. But the customers kept coming.
Five years in the barn
Five years of grafting in that barn. Learning, improving, and building vans we'd be proud to own ourselves. Eventually we outgrew it; my office was literally built on top of my sheet rack.
A bigger workshop, a new name
So we moved into a bigger workshop and became Camper Camper. We kept investing: a better workshop, an online store, CNC machinery and, most importantly, a really good team.
Our biggest mistake
Then we made our biggest mistake. We ran campervan competitions, and there were nights I genuinely wondered whether we'd lose everything we'd built. I've never forgotten that feeling.
Funny how things work out
The very competitions that nearly finished us also gave us our first van. When the winner chose the cash alternative, Meeko stayed with us. Soon after, Kiona joined when one of our previous customers decided to sell her. Between them they taught us what survives years of hard use, and that is what Atlas is built from.
On the road
We've built hundreds of campervans, launched our rental fleet and grown an amazing team, and honestly, we're still only getting started. Whether you've followed us since the barn or you've only just found us, thank you. The best is still to come. See you on the road.
"We build every campervan as if it were for our own family. If we're happy to spend our weekends in it, we're happy to hand you the keys."
Tom & the family, founders of Camper Camper
We still build for ourselves as well as for customers, so you'll often find us using our own vans exactly as you will; on the coast, in the mountains or parking up somewhere peaceful to watch the sun go down.

Where next
Pre-designed, or bespoke.
Most people want a proven Camper Camper design, for a clearly defined specification, transparent pricing and a shorter build time. Or, if your requirements call for something different, we can design a bespoke conversion around the way you travel.
Whichever route suits you, it always starts with a free, no pressure conversation.

Build me an Atlas
Atlas is our ready-designed campervan. The layout is already planned and proven. You choose from three spec levels, then make it yours with your choice of colours, finishes and selected extras.
Because the design work is already done, Atlas costs less than a fully bespoke build and takes less time to build.
Conversions start from £24,999 including VAT. A complete Atlas, including the van, will typically start from around £47,000 but the final price will depend on the age, mileage and condition of the van you choose.
I need something different
A layout that our signature range does not cover, an accessible build, an unusual base vehicle, or an individual installation on a van you already own — such as a pop-top, solar or heating.
- Fully bespoke conversions
- Individual installations and upgrades
- Unusual and specialist projects
